KLM Royal Dutch Airlines sees revenue growth, but no profit due to higher costs

Source: KLM The KLM Group reported a revenue of €6.3 billion in the first half of 2025, an increase of 5.7% compared to the same period of 2024. Despite improvements in the operating result and a 3% increase in capacity, KLM did not achieve an operational profit. Higher costs further reinforce the need to continue the structural savings plans for the remainder of 2025. The operating result for the first half of the year was –€2 million. Although this is an improvement compared to the first half of 2024 (–€31 million), this is a disappointing outcome given the €6.3 billion in revenue.

H55 Redefines Noise Standards at Major U.S. Airport

Source: H55 H55's electric aircraft flies so quiet, that during a noise measurement test, the Bristell B23 Energic powered by H55 propulsion system was so quiet that the electric aircraft flew without triggering three of six official noise-monitoring sensors. On 11 July 2025, the B23 Energic flew identical flight paths alongside a comparable piston-engine across the airport's six official noise-monitoring stations: 3 of 6 sensors recorded no aircraft noise—the B23 flew below ambient sound thresholds (60 dB) The remaining sensors registered the B23 Energic at 1/10th of intensity of the noise measured in comparison to the piston aircraft "Electric aviation isn't the future—it's here," said Michael Fronapfel, CEO of Centennial Airport.
